Ensuring good quality of experience
The challenge for MNOs:
• Preventing end user service failure
• How to optimise end user roaming experience
while minimising MNO roaming cost
How the 5G SIM helps:
• End user Quality of Experience can be monitored
through SIM card without a phone application
• Roaming configuration managed via the SIM card:
• Automated selection of relevant network
• Selection of network technology depending
on the business agreement between
operators

Ensuring mobile subscriber privacy
The challenge for MNOs:
• Mobile subscriber identity on today’s network
can be easily misused to locate, trace
individuals and collect data
• Protection of end user digital ID is an MNO
concern for protection of MNO’s reputation
• MNO must comply with regulation
How the 5G SIM helps:
• Encryption of end user digital identity is
supported by 5G network
• 5G SIM offers a trusted & standardised
technical answer controlled by MNO

Addressing IoT Low Power devices
The challenge for MNOs:
• SIM cards must consume low level of energy,
enabling batteries to last for years.
• Increase in use cases with requirement for low
power IoT sensors, e.g.:• Agriculture (temperature / humidity sensors etc)
• Waste management
How the 5G SIM helps:
• SIM in hibernation mode with device can be
reactivated quickly and easily (suspend and resume)
• SIM interaction with device can be adjusted /
optimised to save energy
• Can help optimise usage of network resources
(through optimised communication with device)

Unleashing deployment of new services
The challenge for MNOs:
• Maximise monetisation of innovative IP services
requiring secure access and delivery, e.g.:• Voice over IP
• WiFi calling
• Virtual reality
• HD video
• Download large applications while meeting end
user experience expectations
How the 5G SIM helps:
• SIM card updates optimised over 5G all IP
network:
• Large applications can be downloaded while
end user experience expectations are met
• Roaming agreement parameters
• Reduced cost operations with better
efficiency and higher security

Optimising resources, yet maintaining service quality
The challenge for MNOs:
• How to deploy 5G network while optimising
investment and offering good Quality of Experience
to end user
• As network utilisation grows, underestimated
network capacity may become congested
• Congestion can affect end user service
• Flexible prioritisation relative to revenue generated
by subscriber/service segment
How the 5G SIM helps:
• Prioritisation / monetisation of multi-media
services configured within the SIM
• Prioritisation depending on: MNO policies;
deployment scenarios; subscriber profiles; and
services
• This configuration can be updated over the lifeycle
of the SIM card and the MNO policies evolution

Ensuring secure access to network
The challenge for MNOs:
• Smooth end user experience while protecting end user and MNO assets
• Mutualise access network method, not limited to cellular networks (eg WiFi)
• To offer, at minimum, the security level available in 3G or 4G
• Protect reputation of MNO as a trusted entity• Protect network assets against attacks
How the 5G SIM helps:
• Enhanced end user experience: fasternetwork reconnection upon device restart, includes non cellular networks e.g. WiFi
• Stores the network access temporary keys within the vault that is a 5G SIM card
• Mutual authentication• Protects against cloning
